Well, as you probably know the big traditional gathering for New Year's Eve (Le Réveillon) in Paris is the Champs Elysées Avenue, by the Arc of Triomphe. Usually you bring a bottle of Champagne, get pushed and shoved and really, really cold. You better be a crowd lover for this experience, a loud and obnoxious crowd lover, which I am clearly not! But there is always that option.
For those like me who prefer something less obvious there's a whole lot going on that night!
It really depends on what you like: nice dinner, lounge, wine tasting, club, etc.
For starters, if you are already in Paris, do check out le Pariscope, which can be found in any news stand, and it lists all of the events and happening for the week?

This is obvious but be prepared to book restaurants, hotels and events in advance, it is New Year's Eve after all!
There is a mind-boggling list of soirées, restaurants and events you will be able to chose from to suit your taste. For this blog I picked a few hot trendy spots, some of which are very recent and somewhat unusual!
Three clubs are really the buzz in the city just be prepared to stand out in the cold for a while before you get in. If you are a guy, be sure you have a girl on your arm to get in.
